Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 haven't tested 10300.1.patch either, but it seems like, if, for whatnot
 reason, an old version of the array is passed, the upgrader no longer
 works.

 adding to the ticket, I just had a user whose sidebars were wrecked and
 mangled after upgrading an old site, and I suspect it's due to the
 array_version 2 upgrader. could we, instead of assigning non-existing
 sidebars to new ones, assign unused widgets over into the inactive widgets
 "sidebar"?
